Eric,
You are correct, there is no printer port.  Printer connects through a 
USB port.  Is it possible to connect modem to modem?

I don't know how similar the systems are, but I used a Kingston 10/100
PCI card in my 6400 and it worked okay. I just used it for transferring
files.

Hi,
Want to connect my Performa 6360 (has 603e PowerPC chip and small
case) to my Rev B Bondi iMac.  Other than modems, they don't share any
type of port.  Have heard that there is a PCI card for the PPC Macs
that would add a Ethernet port.
Purpose is primarily gaming (Descent, WCII, Diablo), but backups are
also planned.

Yeah; I've used the printer port for networking ol' macs before, 
works fine with WCII ;-).  But... I've been out of the Mac world for 
quite a while... does the iMac even have the old-style printer/modem 
port?  Sorry, the most "modern" Mac I own is a PM 7300, so I'm a bit 
out.  (Been doing Linux on x86 llately; wanna get back to the Mac 
arch soon though! ;-)  )
         Cheers,

I don't know of any way to network modem to modem like you're saying, 
but I'm no authority.  There may be some sort of third party software 
out there that lets you do it... but ur best bet is to get an ethernet 
card for the performa.  Try ebay... if I'm right the performa has neBus 
slots (?).  Anyway, whatever it takes you're bound to find what you need 
on ebay.com.  I did that with my ol' Mac SE once, and it worked pretty 
well (Well, it was slower than plum pudding, but you have to give it  
some smudge for it's 8MHz bus speed).
     Cheerio,
